Welcome

I offer a supportive, interactive approach to help you and your partner move from the pain and isolation of disconnection to the joy and intimacy of a secure bond.

I bring more than fifteen years of specialized training to couples work, and and I enjoy taking the two of you through a dynamic process where you build the skills, understandings, and experiences that grow and strengthen your bond toward secure functioning and relationship longevity.

I use PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), an approach that utilizes Gestalt and Psychodynamic models–the primary frameworks I have worked in for many years.

PACT is a non-linear, poly-theoretical model created by Stan Tatkin that is grounded in somatic experience and uses current brain science and attachment theory as well as other approaches.

I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, welcome all communities, and look forward to setting up a free, 30-minute Zoom consultation so that we may meet and get a sense of whether working together is a good fit for your current needs.

Mary Bruce-Owenby is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Oregon #T1261 and Tennessee #1547.
